Are you looking for a way to easily remove columns from the posts and pages? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to remove post columns in WordPress. In this case, it will remove the Comments column.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
function remove_post_columns($defaults) {
unset($defaults['comments']);
return $defaults;
}
add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'remove_post_columns');
